Ignoring any security concerns, this will work as a wrapper for just
about any program:
haystack[112] cat ~/suid_test.c
#include <unistd.h>
#define CMD "/root/test.sh"
main () {
printf("uid: %d\neuid: %d\n", getuid(), geteuid());
setuid(0);
printf("uid: %d\neuid: %d\n\n", getuid(), geteuid());
execl(CMD, CMD, NULL);
exit(1);
}
Set CMD to full path to script/program. printf's are just for debugging.
Depending on what you are doing you may not need the setuid(0) call.
Then do "chown root.root" and chmod u+s on the binary as root.
(or substitute whatever user you want)
